My favorite piece of furniture is my bed, cause' it's fluffy and so comfortable!

Vivica A. Fox

In a way, there's nothing more intimate than a piece of jewelry. A painting is hung on somebody's wall. You put a piece of furniture in your home. But jewelry is worn by a person, so there is a fascination with the history of a piece.

Simon de Pury

We are in a very strange way going back to the mentality of the time when Americans went in covered wagons. I imagine they had a piece of cloth, and the piece of furniture they carried with them meant to be a good piece of wood, and sturdy. We're going back to that.

Emilio Pucci

I want to do stories that are about the bits of cultural furniture that are sitting there that we're like, 'Oh yeah, that's been there for years! What could possibly be weird about it?' And then we're going to lift that piece of furniture and look at all the bugs scurry away.

Adam Conover

I hate it when something is set in 1967 and every piece of furniture was made in 1967. No! If it's set in 1967, people have furniture given to them by their grandmother, which she bought in 1932!

William Shakespeare

Hilary Farr

In my lifetime I've been to bed with men, women, and odd pieces of furniture.

Tallulah Bankhead

If you do something really cognitively demanding, like buying furniture, it turns out buying furniture is one of the most difficult things we do. Go into a furniture store and look at a sofa.

David Brooks

Television as we have it isn't an art form - it's a piece of furniture that is good for a few things.

Pauline Kael

I designed every piece {of furniture} for a different reason and purpose, so I love each one.

Savannah Brinson

I'd rather sit at home than be a part of a popular show and be a piece of furniture.

Ashish Sharma

In a modern loft, you can't just fill a space with furniture. Each piece has to be perfect.

Nate Berkus

It's very hard, feeling that you're no more than a piece of unwanted furniture in this world.

Anton Chekhov

There's no reason to keep a piece of furniture in your house that is so sacred and rare that you can't put your feet up on it and a dog can't jump up on it. Likewise, a book that sits on a shelf like a piece of porcelain, only to be admired, never to be read again, is a dead book.

Elizabeth Gilbert

Perhaps I could best describe my experience of doing mathematics in terms of entering a dark mansion. You go into the first room and it's dark, completely dark. You stumble around, bumping into the furniture. Gradually, you learn where each piece of furniture is. And finally, after six months or so, you find the light switch and turn it on. Suddenly, it's all illuminated and you can see exactly where you were. Then you enter the next dark room.

Andrew Wiles
